MOMENT NYC is proud to partner with Some Serious B

MOMENT NYC is proud to partner with Some Serious Business for this event!
The evening showcases the talent and personalities featured in the book “We Started a Nightclub”: The Birth of the Pyramid Cocktail Lounge as Told by Those Who Lived It, published by Damiani in association with Some Serious Business. The jam-packed evening includes performances, readings, bar dancing, and other happenings by Pyramid alumni and friends. Program begins at 6:30 PM with DJs Matt Shipp and Phil Painson.
Books, special limited-edition t-shirts, and Not the Same Old Shit (#ntsos) necklaces will be for sale at the event.
From publisher Damiani: “What Studio 54 was for disco, the Pyramid Cocktail Lounge was for the alternative scene of 1980s downtown New York. Located at 101 Avenue A, the Pyramid offered a mixture of cultures: from groundbreaking, irreverent theater and experimental music to “anti-drag” that challenged the norms of gender binaries…
"We Started A Nightclub" is an inside look at the cultural history of the East Village in the early 1980s. The project, which began in 2006, is an in-depth exploration of the Pyramid’s origins. An oral history comprising more than 75 interviews, it covers the early years of the Pyramid from the time of its founding through its rise, near demise and rebirth. The book includes previously unpublished photos, flyers and other ephemera, as well as excerpts from more than 50 press releases written between 1983 and 1986.”

MOMENT NYC programs are made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.

This program is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in Partnership with the City Council.

Sun Feb 4th 7pm –
Join us for a conversation about Naturally Occurring Music Communities and why they matter(ed) in New York City, with author and NYC music tour guide Jesse Rifkin, Douglas Sherman (Musical Host, The Loft), Julie “DJ Shakey” Covello (Warper Party, Shakey’s Record Fair), and Federico Ausbury (Pinc Louds). Followed by a live set by Pinc Louds.

There will be giveaways, stories and discussion about past and present underground music scenes. The role of these kinds of music communities in the birth of world-changing music genres such as Hip Hop, Punk, Disco, Jazz, Doo Wop, House and many others is undeniable. In their early forms, many of these small outsider music communities were actively despised and vilified by the mainstream press, radio, and society at large. How are these scenes developing in present-day New York, with globalized social media, and what, if any, realizations have come up in the post-pandemic world?

If you haven’t experienced the inspired joy of Pinc Louds’ infectious songs, come laugh, sing, dance and just be free to be yourself while finding out what you’ve been missing. If you’re already a convert come support this Drom takeover! Costumes and characters welcome!

Doors at 7pm
Panel 7:30
Pinc Louds 9PM

Right now THIS Wednesday, May 31: Join MWA in fighting for Fair Pay at SXSW
Penske Media HQ, 475 5th Ave (at 41st St, across from the main branch of the public library) in Manhattan, 12pm-1pm
SXSW artist pay is an absurdly low $250 per band, and hasn’t increased in over ten years. SXSW can afford Fair Pay: SXSW draws over 30,000 music attendees paying up to $1395 dollars for a badge, and $149 for a wristband, generating $164.8 million in 2022. Artists’ application fees alone generated $275,000 in 2022— over $200,000 more than SXSW paid out to artists! Penske Media (SXSW's primary owners) also own Rolling Stone, Billboard, Variety, Artforum, Women’s Wear Daily, and a slew of other publications. The billionaire Penske family are noted donors to far-right politicians and causes.
RSVP: HERE. (And plse forward to your lists!)

We’ll be jamming in the street, so bring your instrument!
MWA (musicworkersalliance.org) is proud to be co-sponsoring this action with UMAW (Union of Musicians and Allied Workers), DSA, and others.
